Clockwise from upper left: Bon Iver, the cover art for The White Stripes' <em>Get Behind Me Satan</em>, Thor & Friends, Kurt Wagner of Lambchop. — Clockwise from upper left: Bon Iver, the cover art for The White Stripes' *Get Behind Me Satan*, Thor & Friends, Kurt Wagner of Lambchop.

This week on All Songs Considered, we return from break with new music by some of our all-time favorite artists, including a wildly different sound from Bon Iver, a previously unreleased White Stripes song and a remarkable new direction for the Nashville art-folk group Lambchop.

Also on the show: The Neutral Milk Hotel-inspired LVL UP, an arresting instrumental from Swans percussionist Thor Harris and Ed Harcourt's searing indictment against political corruption.

But first, Robin digs into a little gift from Bob: a Twinkie!

Less than a year later, Boilen was directing the show and continued to do so for the next 18 years.
